My status at the time of filing is F1 Student on post completion OPT which is going to expire in 3 months. Married to US Citizen in Aug 2008 which is almost 2 years back. ..yeah ..yeah.. I know I was lazy all these days to file for AOS. Finally I filed for AOS with I-130 on June 18th, 2010. Mailed the package via USPS Express Mail to USCIS Chicago Lock box for Express mail/courier deliveries address i.e. Hi Guys. Today is Monday June 21, 2010. Looks like this topic is really confusing with different opinions. I sent my AOS & I-130 package on Friday (June 18,2010) to Expressmail/courier address using the USPS EXPRESS MAIL service. I hope my case would really confirm the ambiguity of this "Express Mail" issue. USCIS clearly mentions in their site to use the following addresses for AOS & I-130 package filing concurrently.
USCIS Chicago Lockbox
U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
Express Mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS
ATTN: FBAS
131 S. Dearborn,-3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517
It is clearly mentioned to use the second address if "Express Mail" is used. As far as my knowledge goes, Express mail is a registered trademark of USPS. So I thought Express mail IS THE USPS Express mail which pretty much works like any other courier service out there. Having said that, I have to wait and see how this whole thing turns out. I will base my comments with the evidence I have. So, here it goes:
- On Friday- June 18th 2010-- 1Mailed AOS& I-130 package from Texas via EXPRESS MAIL from USPS to the USCIS address that is mentioned in their website for Express mail and Courier deliveries i.e. USCIS ATTN: FBAS 131 S. Dearborn,-3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517. Guaranteed delivery Monday 21st June
- On Monday I USPS tracking system says package delivered on June 21 9:12 am at USCIS Express and the item was signed for by [b]L BOX[/b]. Here is the DETAILED USPS confirmation
Your item was delivered at 9:12 AM on June 21, 2010 in CHICAGO, IL 60603 to USCIS EXPRESS . The item was signed for by L BOX.
Detailed Results:
Delivered, June 21, 2010, 9:12 am, CHICAGO, IL 60603
Arrival at Unit, June 21, 2010, 8:41 am, CHICAGO, IL 60604
Processed through Sort Facility, June 19, 2010, 7:47 am, CHICAGO, IL 60666
Processed through Sort Facility, June 18, 2010, 9:09 pm, COPPELL, TX 75099

Acceptance, June 18, 2010, 4:23 pm, WACO, TX 76706[/b]
- I am little bit worried because it says "the item was signed by L BOX". I assume L BOX means Lock Box. So probably no person has signed it. The pdf image for the signature is not at all clear. I cannot see any signature on that. But the relief sign is that it says that "the item was delivered...to USCIS EXPRESS"
- I will keep it updated with the evidence so that there is no confusion on this issue. Hopefully I am not wrong in sending the package to the express mail address using the USPS express mail.
